8. And Moses said unto Korah, Hear now, ye sons of Levi:
9. seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself; to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them;
10. and that he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and seek ye the priesthood also?
11. Therefore thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord: and Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?
12. And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up:
13. is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but thou must needs make thyself also a prince over us?
14. Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
15. And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the Lord, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
16. And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy congregation before the Lord, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
17. and take ye every man his censer, and put incense upon them, and bring ye before the Lord every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each his censer.
18. And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
